Biography

Peter Tessarz is a Professor of Human Biology at Radboud University, specializing in the molecular understanding of chromatin dynamics and its impact on transcriptional processes and subsequent cell-fate decisions, specifically in the context of ageing, cellular stress, and disease. His research aims to understand how chromatin senses and links alterations in energy metabolism and changes in cellular (micro)environment to contribute to cellular states and tissue homeostasis. Tessarz employs biochemical, molecular cell-biological, and deep-sequencing approaches in his work, utilizing mice and (primary stem) cell cultures, including organoids. The long-term goal of his research is to identify pathways within the metabolism-epigenetics axis that could be exploited for interventions positively impacting disease outcomes and extending the human health-span. His research theme encompasses Chromatin, Metabolism, Ageing, and Disease.
